Who We Are

Ronda Rousey

Ronda Rousey was the first American woman to win an Olympic medal in judo, and she is the only woman to win both UFC and WWE titles. In fact, she’s a UFC Hall of Fame inductee. Ronda has also acted in film and television, in projects such as Fast and Furious 7, Entourage, and The Expendables, among others. Ronda created No DNB Productions to help develop a relationship with her fans in a way that shows off her real personality. As you can tell from No DNB’s work and Ronda’s YouTube channel—where she shares vlogs from her farm, Browsey Acres, as well as comedy sketches and unboxing videos—Ronda loves to create cooking and gaming content.

Ronda is a burgeoning writer and has multiple shows in development.

Travis Browne

Travis Browne is known for his tall stature and exciting UFC fights, but he’s taken up the role of Executive Producer with startling ease. Beyond being a day-to-day leader at No DNB, Travis does everything from acting to coordinating productions to pitching to developing ideas for the company. He currently has multiple television projects—both narrative and reality—in the buying and development stages.

Jason Nawara

Jason has always wanted to open a bio with a riff on the famous Glengarry Glen Ross line: “ABC: Always Be Closing. I’m Alec Baldwin! Gah!” with “ABC: Always Be Creating. I’m Alec Baldwin! Gah!” That’s not true: He doesn’t know how to write a bio and this is being made up on the spot. Before No DNB Productions, Jason had been making content since he figured out how to edit with two VCRs stacked on top of each other. It’s this desire to constantly create that gave him a career that has spanned damn near two-decades. From being a camera operator to a managing entertainment editor for Uproxx, reaching millions of readers a month, to leading a video department for an award-winning marketing agency to here at No DNB Productions.

With Ronda and the team, Jason has developed multiple long-form television shows with Warner Bros, WWE, NBC, Paramount Network (formerly Spike TV), and others. He produces and writes Ronda’s weekly YouTube content, which reached over 60 million people in just 18 months.

When not writing or thinking of new things to entertain the masses, he’s probably thinking of dogs.

Vince Nigito

Vince is a producer and Senior Editor at NoDNB, specializing in narrative editing. His background includes many thousands of hours on independent films, comedy videos, commercials and corporate work for companies like United Airlines, Medline Industries, and Accenture, and many years in the Chicago improv scene. (But not, like, too many years in the Chicago improv scene—the right amount of years). He draws from this to turn piles of footage into compelling stories. He is a nice boy who does good work.

Justin Golightly

What’s your favorite color? Justin’s is #FEF8E6. It’s a slightly beige tone that is created from the light of 200,000 galaxies. But it doesn’t stay that way—this cosmic latte is getting redder as the stars of the universe age. The color is constantly changing, just like Justin and everything else contained within the celestial light.

In a past life, he used to write MMA articles that at one point garnered 2.5 million readers in a year and were featured in outlets like Bleacher Report and FOX Sports. Combining his own grassroots Twitter success and his two degrees in Communication and Studio Art, Justin started incorporating his illustrations into his work and taking over brands to launch them in the stratosphere. Now he’s No DNB Productions and Ronda’s jack of all trades: spearheading identity branding, graphic design, video editing, managing the over a million-subscriber YouTube channel, and pretty much anything else under the Sun.

Still calling the deep South home, when Justin isn’t at his computer desk, he’s working in his garden and trying to start a local kombucha business.

Kyle Nilges

Kyle has been using any excuse to make videos with his friends since high school. His passion for filmmaking eventually led him to a career, and for the better part of a decade, Kyle has been working as a professional camera operator, gaffer/grip, and production sound mixer, willing to step into any role to get things done. As Ronda likes to say, “He is a studio,” and his degree in Visual Effects and Motion Graphics helps him with creating VFX shots both on and off set.

Kyle has spent a large portion of his career working with the Chicago comedy community at places like the I.O. Theater and The Onion. He has worked with corporate clients such as United Airlines, Four Seasons Hotels and Resorts, and Medline Industries, while also receiving accolades from film festivals for the feature and several shorts he has worked on, including Best Narrative Short from the New York City Reel Film Festival for the 2019 film Dinner in Hyde Park.

When Kyle isn’t researching camera equipment and learning new filmmaking techniques, he’s probably playing Pokemon.

LaToya Ferguson

LaToya Ferguson much prefers to let her ideas and work do the talking, which is why No DNB Productions is the perfect fit for her writing and media expertise. Since graduating college with an English degree (concentrated in Film & Media Studies), LaToya has worked full-time as a writer in Los Angeles. Often the main sounding board for No DNB projects, LaToya is meticulous when it comes to making sure every bit of No DNB Productions content is as perfect as it can possibly be before release.

Julia De Mars

Julia is the newest addition to the team, and she is developing into a Swiss Army Knife of production. With a degree in writing, Julia maintains our many social media channels, edits video, and works as a production assistant on all No DNB shoots.

Jenn Novielli

Jenn is the ultimate gatekeeper of No DNB Productions. If you need to talk to Ronda or the crew needs a meeting set, you have to go through Jenn. It’s actually for this very reason that she has multiple pitbulls. Actually, she just loves rescuing dogs and rooting for her beloved Chicago Blackhawks.
